Ingredients
For the Pork Gyros
- 2 1/2 lbs. of pork tenderloin thinly sliced
- juice of 2 lemons
- 1 half red onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced, or sliced, your choice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
For the Gyros Wrap
- pita bread
- tomatoes chopped
- red onion thinly sliced,
- feta cheese
- parsley
- Tzaziki Sauce
Instructions
- Remove the white membrane and excess fat from the pork tenderloin with a sharp knife.
- Slice the pork into thin slices about 1/4" thick
- Transfer the meat to a large bowl and add the thinly sliced onions, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, lemon juice, minced rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 90 minutes, up to overnight.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the meat in 2 - 3 batches. You don't want to crowd the pan, so the meat can properly sear and caramelize.
- Cook the meat for 3-4 minutes on each side until it's browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and repeat with the rest of the meat.
- Serve with warmed pita bread, chopped tomatoes, chopped parsley, feta cheese and Authentic Greek Tzaziki Sauce
